Has anyone seen one of these? Appears to have come out of Korea or Japan no markings regarding where made but has similarities to Abu fly reels that came out of there. Mitchell 7570




edited to add rear view and reel number

Maybe time for a new search engine, I can get nothing to come up in a search that remotely resembles this model. Haven't used it a lot but seems like a nice reel, don't think I would put much more than an 8wt line on it as it's pretty well filled w/DT7. Any idea what era of manufacture Bulldog?

interesting, never seen one of those before.
The made-in-France fly reels were made up to 1989 and are 3 digit model numbers.

The spool casting looks like a 90s era Daiwa, reminds me of a Daiwa SF series.
So affirm the speculations so far, probably Japan made in the 90s..

nice looking reel, would fish ;-)
